Regardless of being handed match by the vet, Skybird was finally withdrawn by Racing Victoria Stewards after sitting down within the gates previous to the Group 3 Cockram Stakes (1200m).
Steward answerable for Saturday’s assembly Corie Waller defined Skybird was fractious within the obstacles after being loaded and have become momentarily solid.
“The vet had a fast look and handed her match, however primarily based on the proof wanting on the movie, which the vet wasn’t 100 per cent aware of, it was apparent that she shouldn’t take her place within the area primarily based on the place she received herself in,” Waller mentioned.
“What occurs round on the gates may be very fast and so they (vets) don’t see 100 per cent of what has occurred. They could be in a special place and may not have seen the incident.
“We’ve the within steward, James Hitchcock wanting on the movie and he can relay by precisely what’s occurred and watch it over a lot of occasions to make a greater evaluation as as to whether the horse ought to take its place within the area.”
